I don't care about other Adobe products at the moment AFAIK and can see, ColdFusion is not officially supported on VM. If it is, it should be in the product listings.
We run small domains in ESX, on machines with 20-60GB RAM. If we deloy say 5 ColdFusion licenses on the ESX box with 2 CPUs (and oodles of RAM) then we only need one CF license as far as I can make out.

That is not true, really. You're only going to be able to run a few VMs on a two-processor box, which is all your CF license allows.
